Facebook has something useful?![]()
It really isn't a social networking site of the ilk of myspace or facebook, the focus of those is your profile and building stuff up around it, photo galleries etc, the focus of twitter is something that you want to share there and then, and then you move on. It's much closer to blogging than social networking. I don't get how people can take a dislike to a website really, obviously it won't click for some people, but I imagine most of the internet doesn't, why harp on about something that lots of people use, just because you don't.
Why people use Twitter?
This is the bit that annoys me about the Twitter haters. They always harp on about not wanting to know what people are having for dinner, or what colour socks they're wearing. I follow about 120 people and I can't honestly remember a single occasion when someone has said about their lunch. If people actually bothered to give it a chance instead of jumping on the hate-bandwagon they may see it themselves.Twitter just seems so insubstantial to me. And tbh I'm not generally the kind of person who wants to know what Stephen Fry is having for dinner.

I did, but there was no one to follow, No one else I know uses twitter... I had a look at Stephen Fry's as he's like the Twitter uber celeb and his latest update was what he was having for dinner.This is the bit that annoys me about the Twitter haters.

I just don't know who I'm supposed to follow...

You know, like technology and stuff. I would add blogs like engagets twitter, but I don't see the point when they have an rss feed for their posts anywho...What are you interested in?
